O my beloved! A love such as ours keeps heaven yearning for earth and earth yearning for heaven. And this is as it should be, for it is the consummation of worlds to which we aspire. It is the fusion of beloved Father and Mother, Alpha and Omega. Thus, as you long for the Guru, the Ever-Present Guru longs for thee.
In each precious moment when our hearts find the point of Light's union, there is the convergence, there is the grand merging of Light forces, there is the moment of seeing the dawn of the golden age and Life transcending itself.
Oh, I would speak to you at year's end of my own thoughts and awareness - so much of which I conveyed to you in the last days and years, and so much of which I withheld. All other considerations taken to heart and understood, yet the soul's striving, the soul's destiny to fulfill the inner mandate, ultimately takes precedence over all. Thus, the deepest loves we bear toward one another and family and counterpart - all these must submit to the flaming sword Excalibur which gleams, suspended in the air: the sign to every knight that the call to enter the flame has come.
In the beginning the test is to take the sword from the stone. This is symbolical of the activation and loosing of the Kundalini fire, the World Mother within oneself. Thus, when the beloved Arthur took the sword from the stone, it was the placing in his hand of the object and symbol of the mighty crystal cord, star-studded with seven chakras. The taking of the sword is the taking of the rod of the Woman whereby king and prince and knight do conquer even the illusions of these octaves.
In the life of King Arthur, you observe the grand nobility of the soul facing each and every challenge, every momentum of personal and world darkness assailing each new plane of God's consciousness which is to be discovered as one mounts the altar of sacred fire up the spine to the crown of Life1 - always the crown of the World Mother which she places upon her blessed sons.
Dear hearts, you have seen bejeweled swords. Know that those jewels are a sign of victory, of reward - but ultimately the sign of the starry configurations of the chakras in the mystical body of man. Thus, the gleaming, silver-white sword Excalibur, blinding in its presence, signifies the fire of the Mother complete and raised. Thus, it is in truth the appearance of the ascension flame.
When one sees the sword before one's gaze, one understands that it is the hour when the sword truly does cleave asunder the lower and the higher self, and the veil in the temple is rent in twain2 and the soul does take flight to the higher domain.
Thus, in those hours I did attempt to reveal, in various ways and messages to you, that I should not forever remain in Colorado Springs, nor should you; that I must move on and transcend being.3 The compelling fire of this call is beyond any experience you have ever known. And though the self may experience sadness before the Mahasamadhi,4 understand, blessed hearts, that the call of the Guru and of the World Mother does satisfy every longing and give to the ascending son the means to bring comfort and enlightenment and peace and nearness to his own throughout the world.
Therefore, in this cycle of self-transcendence, one enters the heart of all who love God as a part of the stream of Life itself - not as an intrusion but as a oneness with the River of Life that flows and courses through all being. Thus, the meaning of cosmic consciousness is a total awareness of Life itself and a sharing of that Life in each cup prepared.
Now, beloved, the joys of our union are apparent. And I am here this evening to bring that mighty sword of my King, to bring the sword Excalibur as the sign of the victory of a year, and to place myself in the midst of all of my beloved as comfort and sealing of that which you have achieved.
I come to clear the way for the brightness of the star of Gautama and the mighty archangels who precede him. I come, beloved, that you may understand that in this moment and in this year God has placed in my hand the opportunity to cast into the sacred fire that which has not been fulfilled or accomplished but that which may be begun again in the new year. Thus, that which is good is sealed in Light and that which is lesser or incomplete passes through the flame.
It is an hour of the unburdening by the World Mother. It is an hour of the sensing of a joy and a freedom and of a victory. Surely you have laid upon this altar this day a fervor of calls that have carried to the sun and returned and resulted in much. Now I add to your calls this, my prayer, which you may repeat often, as you like:
Our Father Eternal, sever now from the Mother and the chelas of the Mother the unwanted unreality, the force of the betrayer of the Word and of the holy Brotherhood of Light. Let the community move on now without the weight of the consciousness or the self or the idea or the condition that has burdened by the misperceptions of fallen angels and mechanical ones.
Our Father, have compassion upon these, our own. And in the name of Mother Mary, heal now their hearts and souls, heal their bodies, heal their minds, and let them be free to know Thee as Thou art.
I, Lanello, do draw a Circle of Love, a line of ruby fire, around those who are truly one in Love. And the ruby flame does exclude the vibration of anti-Love that is pitted and marked with criticism and the divisive elements of disdain, discouragement, deceit, and sympathy for the downtrodden self.
I take the sword Excalibur. I take the Light of the Mother. I cut away the error and the dust. I cut away all veils of darkness and death, and I form now a body of Light. I form a Light presence in the very center and heart of this forward-moving community and cycle.
Truly, all of you have been tested, beloved hearts, beyond that which would ordinarily be the testing of souls at your level of chelaship. This testing has been given by Lord Maitreya that he might define precisely the rings of lightbearers to gather at the Western Shamballa in the service of the Lord of the World and Sanat Kumara. Mighty responsibilities demand a mighty wisdom and the soul's fervent work of the ages.
Come to me, dear heart. Lay your burden upon my heart. Let me enfold you that you might sleep the sweet, childlike-sweet, peace of comfort and love in the arms of Father. Come, my child. Come, my hero. Come, my sons and daughters. Come now, my students and friends and cherished ones. Come now, for God has given to me the means to lift your sorrow or your burden, to resolve your dilemma, and truly to make your heart one - one in Him, one in Love.
Blessed hearts, I perceive the greatest affliction of all on planet Earth as the relentless hatred of the Christ that is harbored in the subconscious of those who have sworn enmity with God. Spilling over into the wells of the unwary, into the pockets not filled with good fruit, we see, then, that this force moves in a stealthy manner to trouble and vex the hearts of God's dear children.
Understand that the entry into the world of the individual of the forces of death and the last plagues and of war, pestilence, and upheaval [i.e., the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse] is through this force which comes by many names and means and in all sorts of Halloween masks and even at the New Year's Eve ball. Precious hearts, the jesters themselves carry this force. For hatred becomes a mockery and then an envy and then a malice until, hardly able to contain itself, it erupts in acts of vengeance and violence. Dear ones, it even penetrates to little children through the misuse of sound, of art, of educational materials, of drama and entertainment pumped into the subconscious through the media.
Let us have compassion for such as these. Let us renew, then, in this New Year's Light of the World Conference our dedication to the torch that is passed from Gautama Buddha through the hand of Clara Louise to the heart of the Mother of the Flame.5 Thus we hold, as the ascended and unascended messengers together, the commitment of that torch passed in 1973 - that torch for the illumination of the world's children, for the setting aright of education by the heart, and for the lowering into manifestation of the God-design from Lake Titicaca and the God and Goddess Meru.
Much has transpired in terms of illumination since that sponsorship. This community itself bespeaks a student body of all ages, of great perception and wisdom and knowledge of the real and the unreal. Strides have been made. But this is the year when, my beloved, there is a turning and an acceleration and an option for you to carry, to bear, a more than ordinary momentum of illumination from the Lord of the World - to increase that Light, to increase that perception, to increase the actual potential for the Mind of God in the lightbearers of earth.
Nineteen eighty-five, as you will see, is a year of Cosmic Christ illumination on all fronts. And you will also take note that the false hierarchy of Serpent and his seed, of materialistic knowledge and sensual knowledge, will attempt to convert the great dispensation to a perverted knowledge that is without individual Christhood or its discipleship.
Thus, we send you in this year on the mission of the dragon-slayer on the second ray. The second ray of illumination is the ray of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, of the wise ones and the prophets and the anointed of Light. Let us be champions of wise dominion and let us see how a planet illumined measure for measure by the fire of the heart will make right choices for their survival, God-government, and abundant Life.
Let us approach every departure from Truth as a violation of wisdom and of the flame of the Goddess of Wisdom. Let us know that the flame of the Grand Teton is the flame of Lord Lanto and Confucius, and that it is the illumination flame in the northern hemisphere. It is a light of illumination for the precipitation once again of the golden-age civilization. Thus, it has direct application to the principles and plans of our Inner Retreat.
Oh, how I cherish this place! Oh, how I love to walk in its paths and hills, to climb the mountains and sit with Shiva in the whiteness of the snow and wind!
How I love its streams! How I love its stalwart chelas and faithful co-workers! How I love the dreams of Nicholas and Helena Roerich6 which we do outpicture.
How I love the dreams of Paramahansa Yogananda,7 my brother. And how I see them appearing in the faces of the Masters of the Himalayas who come to rejoice in the flowing stream, the mighty river of the Yellowstone.
Beloved, it is a year to claim the land for one's Christhood. It is a year to take thy place anywhere, to be seated in the lotus in memory of Siddhartha, in memory of the one who claimed his right to be doing what he was doing8 - his meditation purely upon Sanat Kumara.
May I find you in the way anywhere, seated - seated then with the earth-touching mudra, that all of earth might bear witness to the glory of the son of God who has determined:
This day I shall mount new courses! This day is the day when I clean escape, press through and beyond the stickiness of the astral plane, and make my mark upon the highest rock as the sign of my ascension. It is a mark of fire, a pearly white light. It is my promise and hope to the everlasting God that I, too, shall ascend! And because I will to ascend, I place behind me the smallness, the pettiness, and the unreality of world hatred in all its many disguises.
Hatred quenches wisdom and eventuates in folly, then ignorance, then insanity and mindlessness. The fires of hatred are the fires of hell that consume the very fabric of identity. Thus, we understand the source of the absence of mindfulness in the individual.
Some have long ago been self-consumed upon their hatreds and lusts of hatred, but all this is behind us. We face the Sun. We only warn because there will always be some who come to drink of the fire only to abort its purpose and turn it once again to that which is past and nevermore shall be nor can continue in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.9
I am, therefore, now touching your hearts with intense yellow fire preceding the coming of the Buddha. Yet, from the Buddha's heart this fire does come - the preparation to be blazing Sun, blazing Son of God where thou art! Thus, Jophiel does appear now in the sky - high above the Holy Grail, high above the sword Excalibur suspended - to deliver, then, his mandate for the continuing education of the heart by way of defeating the darkness of earth.
Lest I tarry too long with you, beloved, may I say: This is a blessed day for all of us and a freedom - a freedom we have not known: the gift of God's true and righteous judgments.10
I wish to pay tribute to the Lords of Karma and to the Four and Twenty Elders who, in their great fullness of the Mind of God and in their achievement of cosmic science, have delivered this age from a massive darkness in this recent judgment of Peshu Alga and have devised the means to withdraw, without disruption of planetary cycles, much of the momentum of record of this and other affiliated lifestreams.
Your calls have compelled a response and a new discovery, as it were, for the demagnetization of the worlds of the heaviness of laggard evolutions. May you continue to exert the pressure of your hearts' love upon cosmic beings who draw nigh to earth because they draw nigh to the God flame you have extolled in your hearts. Thus it becomes a truth, as you might say of yourselves: And I, if I be lifted up, shall draw all God-free beings unto me!11
I raise up the sword Excalibur in the being of our messenger. I raise up that magnet of Light, that truly the magnet might polarize and attract the intercession of cosmic hosts for the maximum deliverance of planet Earth in the year to come. And I shall be, in answer to your call, the presence of the World Mother and the Ever-Present Guru in your chakras - again, as that sword. As you are able to bear it and to become its scabbard, so, beloved hearts, know that it shall be unto thee a device of protection and merriment as you make Light of darkness and give it not too much trouble and not too much time, but yourself reign supreme as our beloved Son.
May I sing with you in this hour to the World Mother we know and love as our very own - to Her light in the heavens, Her veil in the clouds, Her tresses in the earth and tender feet in grasses and streams. The image of the World Mother is everywhere, and She holds in Her embrace all evolutions of earth. Do not allow any to deny the position of preeminence of the Mother flame in your life, and the very person of Omega and the tender heart you cherish.
Blessed ones, the Mother is the path to God. The highest hope I can have for you for this year and the best prayer is:
May Her radiance be upon you always.
Now sing with me - as we never part, but enter Her heart as one.
O Mother of the World
We are all children of thy heart -
O Mother of the World
We long for cosmic ecstasy
O great starry Mother
Do teach thy children
To have no other than thyself
Fill our hearts with purpose
Forge thy cosmic union - real God-dream!
Thy office of pure Light
It fears no competition
Let no one in the world e'er doubt thee
But find attunement with thy blessed head
Hallowed thoughts
Thy love which flows from glowing heart
Of cosmic dreams from God
Clears the air of confusion
That splits and saws asunder
Many lives `til all wonder
Where's blunder `neath our feet
Shall it defeat us evermore?
Never to take our store
With all our wisdom evanescent
O Mother of the World
We are all children of thy heart
Now kept apart, triviality
We would return to cosmic ecstasy.
The night is long and vacant
From Light of radiant Manchild
Here standing in the sun of oneness
We now confess to loss of happiness to thee.
I AM thy child, thy concept pure
Of my willingness to be God-taught
O Cosmic Mother, set my heart afire!
I move by thy love
To the fount of brotherhood
Where washing feet of all
I serve and see Poseidon rise
The New Atlantis of allness
Nevermore to sink into smallness
Of lesser self
I AM able now
To serve and reign as thy beloved Son!

This dictation by Lanello was delivered through the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Monday, December 31, 1984, during the 6-day New Year's Light of the World Conference, at Camelot.
